Democrats on Hamas’ invasion of Israel

On October 7th, Hamas launched an unprovoked and unprecedented attack killing 1,200 people, injuring thousands more, and taking over 240 civilians – including children and the elderly – hostage inside Gaza. Hamas terrorists and their Palestinian Islamic Jihad allies continue to launch a barrage of rockets toward Israeli cities. Hundreds of their rockets have fallen short, resulting in devastating civilian casualties.

President Joe Biden and Congressional Democrats have made it clear: The United States unequivocally stands with our ally, Israel, as it defends itself from terrorist attacks and fights to dismantle Hamas.

DMFI applauds President Biden’s passionate pro-Israel address

Following President Biden’s address to the nation on October 10th, 2023, Democratic Majority for Israel President & CEO Mark Mellman released the following statement:

Read Our Statement

Thank President Biden For Standing With Israel

President Biden was unequivocal about Israel’s right to self-defense as Hamas targeted Israeli civilians with a barrage of terrorist attacks.  Send a note to the president thanking him for his leadership and support of Israel.

Thank Him

Tell your Representatives to Demand Hamas Accept the Biden Deal

For too long the blame, and the pressure, have been focused in the wrong direction. As President Biden said, “Hamas is now the only obstacle to a complete ceasefire and relief for the people of Gaza.”

Our representatives in Congress need to put the pressure where it belongs — on Hamas. Urge your Member of Congress to put as much pressure as possible on Hamas to accept the ceasefire agreement proposed by Israel and outlined by President Biden.

TAKE ACTION
